i think this is a heron, but instagram is telling me it's an egret... which may or may not be the same thing...

@jgpittenger @sunnygreenwood @salza thanks! i still a little muddly on this as wikipedia seems to suggest that the great egret and the heron are the same, but i definitely bow to those who are much better informed than i am!!!

I think egrets are smaller. It does look like the egrets we have over here. Lovely shot.
